And this is why CDG regularly wins my "worst airport in the world" award. Well, this and many other reasons like really really poor signage, the long distance from the city with transport options being limited to crowded trains or using road vehicles that have to share the A1 with about 500000 other road users, and the distinct lack of things to do to distract yourself during the inevitable long waits. It's also the only airport in the world where officials managed to lose my residency papers - lucky I noticed that they weren't handed back to me with the rest of my documents, but I had to argue with the customs officials for 25 minutes before they would even believe me that they handed given it back to me. It then took another 25 minutes before they found it on the floor under a desk, which resulted in my missing my flight. No apologies, just s shrug of the shoulders - and this after I had remained extremely calm and pleasant during the whole process because losing it just makes things worse in that type of situation, and may even leave you in gaol.
